<splash>false</splash>

does nothing it seems. Still getting the splash screen, will try editing config file next.

Make sure your advancedsettings.xml looks like this - I suspect you haven't included the <advancedsettings></advancedsettings> tags:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <splash>false</splash>
</advancedsettings>

You can disable the OpenELEC splash by adding "nosplash" to the end of your line in /flash/cmdline.txt

Ooh, I think there was a misunderstanding! I'm not talking about the tvheadend server, but about the client in OE! Smile

I'm not using the OE TVHE server. I have the server installed on another PI under Raspbian. It's the client addon that crashes #327 as soon as I enable it. That happens no matter if it gets a connection to the server or not, so it's not related to the server at all.

I was already confused as to why switching to a new ffmpeg version should constitute a problem for building the client. Wink

Hi. It happens the same with my RPi3. It works perfect with #326 but some minutes ago I have updated to #327 and I got the boot loop. Also TVheadend client is used in the Rpi3. The server is located in a NAS. Till today everything worked as expected so something in the #327 update is causing some conflict with OE TVHeadend client addon.
Now back to #326.

Possibly fixed by PR9477, please go back to #0326 for now. There's not going to be a new build tonight.

Thanks @Milhouse for all your great work! #0326 it is until the issue is resolved! Smile

Happy Easter! ;-)

...a little question - why is DVD playback remains temporarily disabled so long time ?

Harald

Unfortunately nobody is really interested in fixing it right now. It remains "unfixed" in a number of distributions.
Suppose I'll keep waiting for DVD support ...sigh. these builds are pretty good generally, as long as you read this thread.

Thanks milhouse. And popcornmix.

Thanks @Milhouse. #326 is Ok.
Thanks again for your support.
Regards from Spain.

#326 works fine
#327 is stuck at boot logo loop

Thanks @Milhouse - your updates are great!

(Kodi splash screen is turned off.) The difference of 5 seconds is roughly the time that the animation is on screen. So it would seems to me that the animation is, at least for the most part, not performed in the background?
I'll need to look at that again, perhaps the systemd service needs another tweak.

This will be fixed in the next build, which should be #0329.

The kodi-splash service is currently running after the kodi-autostart service, and the latter recently (Feb 3) became dependent on the network-online service in order to resolve the systemd mount/reboot issue. So this added a dependency that meant the splash video would not start playing until the network was online, which is totally unnecessary and accounts for the extra delay.

I've reordered the kodi-splash service so that it runs before kodi-autostart, and should ensure the 6 second splash video is fully played out before Kodi is ready on a RPi3. The video is now playing as soon as it possibly can (ie. as soon as the graphical target is available).

Slower devices may experience a short period where the screen is blank after the video has played out, depending on how quickly (or slowly?) Kodi loads and the length of the splash video (too short a video == longer period of blank screen). RPi1 users will probably see about 5-6 seconds of blank screen after the splash video and before the Kodi splash, and could maybe use a longer splash video, eg. 10 seconds. The blank screen period may be as long as 15 or so seconds if the Kodi splash is also disabled.

I had a hard crash while watching a 3D MVC movie. It started with stuttering and then everything froze. After a few minutes i was presented with a black screen. A few minutes later kodi terminated and relaunched (on its own).

Here are the crash logs.

Got myself a rPi3

I've joined this forum just to let you know that you're not alone. I'm having the same issues.
I've been working with a Pi3, 2A power, the OpenElec 6.0.3 image and Milhouse's updates. Tried a few OS/update combinations and have this problem each time.

At least im not alone

I have just tried a base build with OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-6.95.1.img
Which was fine.
Then moved OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0-Milhouse-20160326210231-#0326-g0026734 to the update folder
Extracted fine
Upon reboot it just sits at the Jarvis splash screen

I can SSH to it while its at the splash screen. I just cant load the gui


RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - nick w - 2016-03-30

disabling the splash screen fails to help either
<advancedsettings>
<splash>false</splash>
</advancedsettings>


RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - nick w - 2016-03-30

using milhouse build:
OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0-Milhouse-20160310212539-#0310-g0de0a2a
Got the system up and running
trying OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0-Milhouse-20160324210438-#0324-g0026734

nop
going to try
OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0-Milhouse-20160320223142-#0320-g0026734
This worked
Then updated to 321 Successfully
Then updated to 322 Successfully
Then updated to 323 This Failed, stuck at splash screen
Then updated to 324 This Failed, stuck at splash screen
Then updated to 325 This Failed, stuck at splash screen
